"I gave dry mouth as a side effect of a medication I’ve been taking. I have been using Biotene mouthwash, and it doesn’t really do much for me at all. I’ve also used the Biotene gel, it helps a little, but not much and not for long."

"This did absolutely nothing for me. I am a mouth-breather at night. I've tried humidifiers too. Nothing seems to prevent me from getting dry mouth during the night. Dry mouth can lead to cavities or gum disease, so when I wake up in the middle of the night (hey, I'm 66 -- it comes with the territory), I am now just using regular mouthwash to kill any bacteria that are multiplying in the absence of saliva. There were no side effects of Biotene."

"Really bad aftertaste and didn't help me at all. I'm seeing other options now to help me with the dry mouth."

"Biotene is great. I get up 2 to 3 times a night to use the bathroom and use the Biotene each time. Helps my dryness and lets me fall back to sleep."

"I have Sjögren's, so I have a dry mouth. From the first time I tried it, I was impressed with no dryness from alcohol in my mouth, no burning. This mouthwash has kept my breath and mouth slightly moist for a while after use too. I highly recommend this for dry mouth, from medications or medical conditions."
